    For some reason, this review is showing as coming from San Francisco - I have no idea why. We are…read morefrom Sturgeon Bay WI. My husband and I just adopted a dog here 3 days ago, and truly believe that, if we hadn't taken him home that day, he would not be alive now. The dog was neutered on Friday, shipped from Kentucky to Wisconsin on Friday or maybe Saturday, and up for adoption on Sunday, when we found him. He wasn't on any pain medication, nor did he have an e-collar to prevent him from licking his incision, which looked like it had been stitched up by someone with absolutely no veterinary training. He was at least 10 pounds underweight, and he desperately needed bathing. By Tuesday the sutures had popped open and he had a nasty infection, requiring a very expensive surgery. Testing before surgery revealed that he had pellets from a BB gun in one leg, had slight pneumonia, and has indicators of Lyme disease. None of this was disclosed when we adopted him. As another reviewer said, the $400 adoption fee (which is considered a "donation" and is non-refundable if you return the pet) would be fine if the pets were properly cared for and if all medical conditions were disclosed. It seems that the shelter owners want to get as many animals in and out as quickly as possible, with minimal investment in their care. In fact, the woman who worked with us said that they do not have a veterinarian on staff. As far as the facility: there was a strong smell of urine when we came into the building, and there were quite a few flies around. We didn't see where the animals are kept, but were told that all the dogs were in one area during the day, with access to go outdoors, and that at night they were in kennels, two or three to a kennel. Outdoor areas had privacy fencing so we couldn't see what they were like.

    We adopted our puppy, Jack (formerly known as Duke), from NEW Pawsibilities on July 4, 2020. He was…read moreone of three littermates all from Kentucky. When we got the dogs, they seemed fine and healthy but unfortunately all three were exposed to parvo before making the trip to Wisconsin. When we chose to rescue rather than purchase from a breeder, we knew there were risks involved, especially rescuing a puppy who was too young to have had all of his shots yet. Jim and his crew stood by our puppies 100% and did everything in their power to bring the pups back to health. Two were treated at the rescue free of charge (ours included), and we firmly believe Jim saved their lives. During the process, he updated us twice daily and was available all times of the day and night once we brought Jack back home to answer questions about what was "normal" during parvo recovery. It's clear he is truly in this to help save dogs, and he saved ours. We are so grateful and can't speak highly enough about our experience. So many of the negative reviews feel really unfair. When you rescue, you are bringing home a dog from a high population area who has been exposed to lots of different environmental factors. To expect a blank slate is unrealistic. Saving dogs takes work, and we knew that going in to the experience. To Jim and everyone at NEW Paws, thank you SO MUCH for bringing our amazing dog into our life. He fits into our family so perfectly, and we can't imagine a life without Jack. He's truly one of our pack and has brought so much joy to our home.

I will never donate or do business with them again. I have had six or more Great Pyrenees (Pyr) dogs (I know the pros and cons). I have one now and we would like to add another to our family. I saw that The Sheboygan Humane Society had a Pyr that was up for adoption, so I spent the hour filling out their on line application. No one contacted me. So we went to the Sheboygan Humane Society to see the dog. I brought the family and our dog. We met the dog. Loved the dog. It's a Pyr. We asked if we could have our dog meet the shelter dog to make sure that they interacted well. They indicated that it would have to get approved and they would call us to set up a day and time. OK???? So.... we waited 4 days and no called us back. I left messages and finally they called me back and said that they would NOT allow the dog to go to a home that had other pets. This dog had been placed by the Humane Society four time and was returned by each family. The complaints of the previous owners were : Apparently, the dog does not like to be caged for 8 hours a day. It does not like cats and I don't like cats (smart dog). It barks. Pyrs Bark. It likes to stay outside (vs 8 hours in a cage). Seems one person, who has not met me, can determine I am not qualified. Is this the same person who place the dog in 4 homes of unqualified individuals?
